No, not at all. nothing is going to happen. It will just be another year.
Nope, it's a total internet Hoax. 2012 will just be another year, nothing special about it.
It is possible, the most likely scenario if at all is a magnetic shift which will not cause cataclysmic events. The other type of pole shift is a physical one where the crust of earth will literally move/slide over the molten core. This although violent is very unlikely since you would need something big enough to interfere with earths gravitational pull like a large rogue planet, and so far science has found no evidence of that happening yet.
what does the energy come out as when a shift occurs in the earths crust called
north pole and south pole
A pole shift is not what causes the continents to move. It is the pressures from under the oceans' plates.
South Pole ~6.5km / year
north pole
north celestial pole
It is not! Geographic North Pole is in the Arctic!
When the north pole becomes the south pole.
the Auroras form in the earths poles which is south pole and north pole.
the earths iron core is spinning in the opposite direction than the earth...this creates a magnetic field in which encompasses all the suns harmful ways..with that being said...there is a basic scientific convergence on the thought that a pole could happen suddenly if the earth were struck by a large enough object. ANother seemingly interesting thought is the earth will inheret a pole shift as a direct coincidence of a galactic anlighenment in 2012 which the earth is seemingly getting closer and closer to the eclyptic.
Earthquakes.
